Oddly I came back to my room twice and the door... - Review of Vibe Savoy Hotel Melbourne

The rooms were nice and comfortable, meals in restaurant were good- the room service breakfast was great. Oddly I came back to my room twice and the door was not quite shut- I think that this was from the housekeeper not pulling it shut properly rather than something sinister. Great location for accessing transport. Would recommend.

I recently stayed at the Vibe Savoy for a week in April for a work trip. I found the staff were extremely attentive, helpful and pleasant.

The guest room is relatively small so you may find it a little squishy if there are two of you. As a solo traveler though, the space was completely fine. Whilst the decor may seem 'dated' to some, I thought it was perfectly fine. The overall room, bedding and bathroom were nice and clean.

Note: the shower was above which was not a problem however the bath is quite high so be careful when stepping in and out of it. There is a support bar installed on the wall to assist with this.

Value for money.

Convenience wise this hotel is directly opposite the Southern Cross station, has many tram stops nearby and a 10 minute walk to Southbank.

Food is average - maybe 3/5 but it definitely did not ruin the stay.

Stayed her for business recently. Its ok, good charm and atmosphere. As a older hotel building (restored very well), the rooms are a littler smaller, but still very nice. Not my usual hotel as they were booked out, but would be happy to stay here again.

Room Tip: A room not facing main street, as you can hear noise.

The location of this hotel is great. Its right across from the SouthCross train station and its in walking distance from downtown Melbourne. The hotel is nice looking too. Most of the staff was great- special thanks to G-Gay (sp), Sisilya, William, Sam, my friend from Burma in the Curve restaurant ( I'm sorry I didn't get his name) for my making my stay memorable. There was a slight hiccup during check in but G Gay helped us out very quickly and always with a smile. However there was a rude person at the bar and Harris at the front desk was a bit of a jerk.. Yes Harris I am putting you out there. The buffet breakfast was a great deal and nice variety- very nice.

Our housekeeper was pretty nice and informative as well. I think the rooms were okay but they could use a little bit more cleaning. We were disappointed our sheets weren't changed in our week stay. And speaking of beds- they were a little worn and could feel the springs. The other disappointing thing with this hotel is the wi-fi. First we had to pay for wi-fi and its not cheap. The other thing is that the strength isn't always good and wifi is only limited to 2 devices which really sucks if you have a roommate who has their own devices. You can get free wifi for 30 minutes in the lobby but you have to get a different access code each day and even then I had problems getting the free wifi because sometimes the signal strength was so weak. The gym needs some help too. While it was very clean, they don't have a lot of equipment, there were never any towels or anything to wipe the machines down. There were no bathrooms or locker rooms. It was very unlike the Vibe Ruchcutters we stayed at in Sydney.For all the little issues I would go back though. The location is great.

Booked for convenience of location - wasn't disappointed.Checked in with a slight hiccup.Rooms are large and comfortable - the room we had could have done with a spruce up, paint wise.Disappointed that we didn't get our sheets changed in the 7 nights we stayed, but it was Easter.Would stay there again, primarily because of its convenient location to Airbus and station.

This is our second stay at the Vibe Savoy Hotel and wiil not be our last. The staff at the Hotel were friendly. The Hotel is in a great location with Southern Cross Station directly opposite, The trams are also at the front door and run to the St Kilda Beach,the shopping precinct of Melbourne and also to the Docklands . The hotel rooms were spacious,with an extremely comfortable bed. The bathrooms a little tight with lovel fluffy towels etc. The only downfall was the shower over bath which an elderly person might have some difficulty climbing in and outof the bath,other than that ...well done Vibe.

This hotel was probably once a rather gorgeous place but time has taken its toll and redecoration didn't do a great deal for my room. You can see the luxury of the past - marble mosaic bathroom floor, paned mirror wardrobe... but the new additions don't measure up, The worst was the carpet and the cushions on the bed which were both stained to the extent that I changed my pillow for one from the wardrobe after seeing the extremely grubby, spotted cushion resting on it - yuk! However, the rest of the room seemed clean enough.

The room itself was small but adequate, quite dark and I needed a light on all the time. The bed was solid but comfortable though definitely something from the past and the mattress springs squeaked when I sat on them. There was no bed cover at all, just a sheet with a thin basic white quilt folded at the foot.

A TV, electric jug, mini bar (sparse but not as dear as many) , and fridge were enclosed in a mirrored cabinet at the end of the bed. This had big doors which had to swing out to the sides to allow these to be used.

The bathroom was fine, with an old-fashioned (rigid) shower over the bath. The inability to move the head did mean that it was difficult not to get water on ny head and on the floor as there was just a narrow two panelled glass shield to prevent this. Two cakes of soap, one small tube shampoo and conditioner, a shower cap and a sanitary bag were provided.

The air-conditioning worked well to cool and was operated from an extremely antiquated console. However, I wondered if it was designed to heat at all as despite much fiddling, the room remained cold and I woke a number of times during the night feeling the chill.

The view from the window looked directly across a narrow lane to other quite old, tall buildings (offices/apartments), so close that the Asian fellow across the way shut his blinds when he saw me looking out. It would be exhibitionism to dress near the window. We also looked down on washing drying on lines on balconies, No sky in sight - not the greatest view by any means. I would also mention the drapes which were stitched to fit tie-backs which made them impossible to shut completely without putting something on the floor to keep them together.

Other minor negatives: The lamp on the desk did not work. You could hear noise from the adjoinging rooms as well as trams even though our room did not face a traffic street.

This hotel is in a wonderfully convenient location being across the road from the skybus to the airport as well as a tram station to go downtown. The reception staff were efficient though their English skills left a little to be desired (it was hard to work out exactly what they were saying). The desk staff were the only staff I saw.

The price of this hotel was reasonable and probably it was very much a matter of getting what you paid for - though this does not excuse the grubbiness. If you want somewhere very handy, relatively inexpensive, solidly basic - but which echoes days gone by - to rest your head for a night, then this might well work for you - but don't expect luxury!
